We had a great time at Karen's place. The apartment was very clean and cozy. If you're traveling with a little baby that takes naps and goes to bed earlier, keep on mind that there are little kids upstairs and sometimes the schedules are different. It can get really loud from time to time.
Anyways , I would recommend Karen's place. It's a very good deal for clean and well stocked rental

Parking was great. Check-in was great. It truly was privacy at an affordable price. Location was great - not a high-traffic area at all but close to the beaches of Kihei, Wailea, and Makena. The cleanliness of the unit cannot be overstated. It was spotless and tidy. The snorkeling gear was handy and good enough for our use. The wifi was fast and had a strong signal. The bed was comfortable as well. Lots of towels (including beach towels) are provided. That was very nice.
With no A/C it was an uphill battle to get comfortable enough to sleep. And it is stated in the listing description that a family lives upstairs and absolute silence should not be expected. Movement of chairs and even footfalls can be heard through the ceiling - it was at times quite loud and more distracting than we were expecting.
Overall this was a good place to stay, especially considering the price.

We stayed a week in Karen's place and was very nice and comfortable.
The location is really good, a recidential zone, a little bit away to the places we wanted to visit, however we were by car so was not too much complicated. Maui is so big!
The house was very clean and we found very usefull all the things that were available, such as beach chairs, towels and the condiments for food.
We enjoyed a lot our stay! Thank you Karen!

We really enjoyed our stay at Karen's place. It is a clean and private space in a quiet residential neighbourhood.
It felt good to live amongst locals, away from the resorts that are lined up along the beach (which was still only a short walk away).
The patio is awesome — especially for breakfast and dinner. The unit is on the ground floor, but you can still see a bit of the ocean and surrounding mountains.
You can definitely hear the family upstairs, but that was not an issue for us since we got into "Maui time" quite fast and went to bed / got up at similar times.
We would definitely stay there again!

What a wonderful stay! I am really glad that we decided to stay in Karen's place, this definitely made our vacation better.
Clean , cozy and walking distance to the beach , what else can you ask for ?
We'll definitely be back
